Chapter 257: Chapter 226: Fate or Calamity, Yin Spirit Illusory Realm_2

Actually, under the current disunited state of affairs in Cloud Water Sect, her actions were undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.

There were numerous hidden dangers.

"As master and disciple, we don’t need to be so estranged," Su Lianxue said unconcernedly.

She did what she wanted, always used to acting independently.

Moreover, she rarely thought about the consequences.

"Come, come, Huaiyu just broke through with the Canghai Sword Pill, transforming his blood energy into Sword Qi, and hasn’t yet learned the method of Qi Control and Meridian Rush. I’ll pass on the Blue Wave Heart Method to you now,"

Speaking of this, she saw Zhou Ping’an standing not far away to one side.

Su Lianxue smiled wryly, "Why are you hesitating, Ping’an? Your fellow disciple has taken the lead; you, as the elder disciple, should not harbor jealousy.

Although your five viscera are not yet completely refined, it’s just a matter of time. I might as well pass on the Blue Wave Heart Method to you too,"

"Yes, master,"

Zhou Ping’an thought to himself, have you finally remembered me?

If you hadn’t, I would have had to secretly learn by myself.

"The utmost softness in the world can subjugate the utmost hardness. There is nothing it cannot enter..."

Su Lianxue first set the stage by reciting a scripture, instructing them to remember it well, then explained the true meaning of it, sentence by sentence.

When she got excited while speaking, she even drew a knife to demonstrate how the Blue Wave Sword Energy should circulate.

"The twelve primary meridians, the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and various hidden veins, are all recorded in the Canghai Sword Codex.

Since you’ve both already studied this, I won’t go into much detail.

However, since the Sword Qi is excessively fierce and sharp when circulating through the meridians for the whole cycle, you must not rush.

It’s best to tone down all sharpness, transform it to the true nature of water, and moisten the perforations for a long-term plan. Have you noted this down?"

Saying this,

Su Lianxue’s tone became more intense.

Her expression grew much more serious.

Clearly, this tip was very important.

Perhaps in past teaching experiences, many people had made this mistake.

They focused too narrowly on making progress.

Then, they damaged their foundational core.

"Remembered,"

"Must not rush,"

The two disciples promptly replied.

Seeing that the two grasped the concept immediately upon hearing it,

was nothing like teaching her own son, where she could talk till she was blue in the face, yet he still seemed not to understand.

Su Lianxue truly felt exhilarated.

She couldn’t help but be more encouraged to talk.

"It’s a pity that you joined the sect too late; otherwise, you could have contended for the tenth True Disciple rank and not let Radiant Sun Peak monopolize all the glory,"

It turned out she still remembered, Gu Qingqiu previously showing off in front of her about Radiant Sun Peak having a True Disciple.

Thinking about it now, she still felt somewhat displeased.

"Didn’t master say, in cultivation, one shouldn’t compete for a mere day’s length of progress?

Gradual improvement, if the cultivation is strong, whether one is a True Disciple or not, isn’t really that important,"

Lin Huaiyu felt slightly puzzled and directly asked.

By now, she had come to understand some of master Su Lianxue’s temperament.

Though she seemed quite formidable, her nature was oddly simple, with clear delineated emotions of love and hate.

Once she cared for someone, it was with utter sincerity, without a shred of deceit.

Such a character, how was it formed?

Leaving her to teach disciples,

If she encountered a promising student, it naturally would be mutually beneficial.

With substantial help, progressing at a rapid pace.

But if she encountered a disciple with a bad nature, it couldn’t be about reversing bad habits but would instead worsen the teaching, leading further astray.

Therefore, her nature was very selective of disciples.

However, such a temperament, for the two of them, was the best kind of master.

Hearing Lin Huaiyu ask like this, Su Lianxue smiled wryly: "That’s the principle, certainly; in normal times, there’d be no rush.

But now it’s different, the world is in chaos, heroes rise together, and to the northwest, Demonic Barbarians invade, a devil creating havoc in times of disorder...

"After seven hundred years, it seems that the era of great strife has arrived once more,"

Speaking of this, Su Lianxue’s voice became wistful, as if recalling the messages passed down from the elders of her sect.

"This era of great strife is both an opportunity and a tribulation."

If one transcends it, they might achieve freedom and their cultivation could advance by leaps and bounds, breaking through barriers that were once insurmountable.

But if one cannot transcend, they naturally become just a handful of ashes, vanished within the sands of time, no longer remembered by anyone..."

Seeing the confusion on the faces of the two listeners,

Su Lianxue smiled and said, "Why am I telling you all this? You just need to know that the Cloud Water Sect is not as peaceful as it appears on the surface.

The Sect Leader is at a critical point of healing and desperately needs the Divine Origin Elixir to recover..."

"Thirteen years ago, he and the Reincarnation Sect’s Real Person of the Underworld both suffered injuries and simultaneously went into seclusion. This news could not be hidden, and naturally, there are people who don’t wish him well and want to interfere..."

Because of this, these past years, our peak elders have almost been too busy with other matters, spending most of the time gathering materials for the Divine Origin Elixir.

As a result, we have neglected the training of our disciples, and now we can’t even gather ten True Disciples, which is a far cry from our former glory."

"Are True Disciples that important? Why not select a few from the Inner Sect Disciples?"

In Zhou Ping’an’s understanding,

this was like the modern society’s system of promoting titles.

If there are not enough slots, then lowering the standards should fill them.

Everyone would have a chance; perhaps more talents could be promoted that way.

"It’s not as simple as just wanting to select them. If they haven’t reached the Complete Internal and External Qi Cultivation Level, even if they are promoted as True Disciples, when they face powerful disciples from other sects, they will be nothing but an empty shell, completely unable to withstand a single blow.

Not only would they not benefit, but it could also damage our reputation and endanger their lives,"

Su Lianxue explained, then suddenly realized she had left out a major detail, "Oh right, whenever the era of great strife arrives, there are always signs in the world...

The spiritual mechanism within nature becomes more active, and some secret realms can also be opened."

The reason we want to gather ten great True Inheritances is that, after a hundred years, the Yin Spirit Illusory Realm in Qilin Valley has shown signs of opening.

This is the greatest opportunity for disciples under thirty...

Whether they can quickly refine their Martial Intent to completion and open their Divine Apertures, relies on this Illusory Realm."

"A hundred years?"

Zhou Ping’an was somewhat following but still somewhat confused.

"Could it be that the environment within that Illusory Realm is different?" he asked, noting that Su Lianxue mentioned the activity of the spiritual mechanism, which must be the reason."

"Exactly, generally speaking, the spiritual mechanism of this world, much like the tides, ebbs and flows.

Realms like the Yin Spirit Illusory Realm appear when the spiritual mechanism is active.

After a century without the aid of various Illusory Realms, even our Cloud Water Heavenly Sect hasn’t produced a single cultivator who has reached the True Martial Realm; one can only say it’s fate."

There was a hint of melancholy in Su Lianxue’s voice.

Despite their generation’s exceptional talents, alas, the world has changed.

They lack the conditions necessary for a breakthrough."

"Some extremely skilled seers have calculated that after the Mid-Autumn Festival this August, the Illusory Realm will open.

All factions, both righteous and evil, along with the Demonic Sect and Demonic People, will send their young disciples to try their luck at gaining fortunes there.

At that time, those who are not strong enough might not be able to protect themselves once inside...

But if they really manage to obtain benefits, and bring back items like Comprehension Grass or Rejuvenating Spirit Flower,

they could craft several batches of Aperture Opening Pills, and it’s very likely that a sect could produce several more True Martial cultivators.

You can imagine the vast benefits involved..."

"Without the Aperture Opening Pills, is it impossible to break through to the True Martial Realm?"

Lin Huaiyu asked, his eyes flashing, unable to hold back.

"Of course, if not for this, why would we elders still be stuck at the Mortal Rank Ninth Refinement Intent Realm, unable to open our Divine Apertures?

Without the ingredients for the Aperture Opening Pills, even if one gathers great momentum and refines their Martial Intent to the extreme, it ultimately proves futile,"

Su Lianxue sighed.

This isn’t just a personal tragedy; it’s truly the tragedy of an era.

They, this generation, had their best years of cultivation during a low tide...

Who can they blame for missing the good times?

But now, things are different.

Everyone has a chance.
